Reissues
Epsilon
The self‑titled Epsilon introduces Epsilon as one of those early‑70s outfits that understood rock not as a fixed style but as a volatile intersection of impulses: hard rock muscle, blues phrasing, progressive ambition, and a lingering psychedelic afterglow. The album moves with the confidence of a band that has internalised late‑60s British rock grammar - heavy guitar, insistent Hammond, a rhythm section that can punch and pivot - yet refuses to collapse into pure riff worship. Instead, the grou…
Clandestine Anticipation
On Clandestine Anticipation, Krisma leave Italo-disco behind for a humid, video‑age dystopia, nine songs where synthetic funk, proto‑industrial atmosphere, and tropical mirages collide into one of the strangest Italian pop artefacts of the early 80s.
Universal Beings
The 2018 release of Universal Beings, in many ways, feels like the moment that the gates swung open for both Makaya McCraven and International Anthem. On one hand, it's a four-sided communal showcase of the inter-city exchange that had started to develop in the “new jazz” hubs, collecting group improvisations from New York, London, Chicago, and Los Angeles. On the other, it is an editing and post-production masterclass – the MVP of McCraven’s “organic beat music” concept – and a landmark moment …
Kick Out the Jams
Recorded live at Detroit’s Grande Ballroom in 1968 and released in 1969, MC5’s Kick Out The Jams turns a single night into an explosive proto‑punk manifesto, fusing free‑jazz chaos, garage rock riffing, and revolutionary rhetoric into one compressed blast of electricity.
Genesi (Opera In Tre Atti)
Genesi (Opera in Tre Atti)" is a three-act opera composed by Franco Battiato, premiered at the Teatro Regio in Parma on April 26, 1987. This release captures the live recording from subsequent performances in late April and early May 1987, released on CD by Fonit Cetra.
The story unfolds with gods observing humanity's decline and contemplating a new flood, but they send four archangels as human messengers to Earth. The archangels discover a secretive brotherhood devoted to sacred dance and esot…
Satie
** 2026 Stock ** Satie is the point where Erik Satie’s so‑called “furniture music” stops being background and becomes a way of listening to the world. In these recordings, Aldo Ciccolini approaches Satie not as a quirky footnote to Debussy and Ravel but as a composer who quietly rewired 20th‑century music from the inside. The repertoire typically centres on the iconic cycles - Trois Gymnopédies, Trois Gnossiennes and companion pieces like the Nocturnes and Trois morceaux en forme de poire - work…
Felona e/and Sorona
On Felona E/And Sorona 2016, Le Orme revisit their classic sci‑fi concept with a contemporary studio language, stretching the tale of twin planets into a more spacious, synth-forward sound that drifts between nostalgia and quiet reinvention.
Garage: Bad Dream Adventure Original Soundtrack
*Cover TBA* The original soundtrack for “Garage: Bad Dream Adventure,” long regarded among gamers as a “legendary cult classic,” will finally be released on vinyl ahead of its 30th anniversary. The game's setting is a labyrinthine world of ruinous wooden structures, rusted metal, and sewage-filled passages.Tomonori Tanaka's music seeps through the cracks of this meticulously constructed world, cold and shadowed as if sinking into the depths, stirring an indescribable unease while simultaneously …

Stealth [Gold Edition]
2026 repress with new cover art, which is the original artwork designed by Takao firstly released on his private Bandcamp page in early 2018.
"Stealth" is the aptly-titled debut album from Tokyo-based composer/producer Takao. Gliding in under the radar with thirteen slyly sweet and subtle miniatures, these pieces are refreshing light-explosions of gentle harmony and modestly grand melodies. Fans of New Age and tonal minimalism wil enjoy this music, but its brevity reveals a pop-influenced aesthe…
Dreamachine
Wewantsounds is delighted to release for the 1st time on vinyl Brion Gysin's cult recordings, produced by Ramuntcho Matta in the 80s and early 90s. The release features the hypnotic 32-minute journey "Dreamachine," which transforms the effects of Gysin's legendary light art device into a mesmerizing audio experience, alongside the track "The Door," featuring the visionary saxophonist Steve Lacy. A towering figure in avant-garde art, literature, and sound, Gysin influenced generations of creators…
Scattered Memories
*2026 repress* On his debut album “Scattered Memories”, the composer, musician and true master on the Iranian spike fiddle kamancheh Saba Alizadeh blends his instrumental virtuosity with spherical electronics, samples of Persian music instruments and field recordings from his hometown Tehran.
Born in Tehran in 1983 as son of the world renowned Tar and Setar virtuoso Hossein Alizadeh, Saba Alizadeh studied the Iranian spike fiddle with Saeed Farajpoury and Keyhan Kalhor plus photography and later…
Music In DNA
"When you notice the cheerful mystery playing with the synths, the edges of this small world start to look slightly distorted. In any era, someone is always creating mysterious music on their own." - 7FO
Fallen Angel
Somewhere between heaven and hell…there is Fallen Angel. Dark Entries continues its mission of shining light on a generation of composers and musicians lost to AIDS with Brandy Dalton’s Fallen Angel, his soundtrack work for the award-winning Fallen Angel series. Brandy was known for many years in the LA underground for his performances with his boyfriend, Robert Woods, who was the resident DJ at Club Fuck. Eventually, they recruited John Munt to form the band Drance, becoming infamous for their …
Gman+
Gman+ gathers some of the most elusive material from Merzbow’s 2011–2012 period and welds it into a single, punishing disc, four tracks that function as both archival rescue and self‑contained statement. The collection pulls together work originally issued in limited form, recasting it as a crucial chapter in the same cycle that produced Kumo No Zettaichi, Sugamo Flower, Bit Bluesand Kotorhizome. Across “Gman”, “HJYUGTF2”, “Hakutouwashi” and “Lop 13”, Masami Akita works out a language of layered…
Kotorhizome
Kotorhizome catches Merzbow in a phase where noise stops behaving like a vertical wall and starts acting more like an underground network. Recorded between 2011 and 2012 and released later as part of the Slowdown archive cycle, the album is built from a deceptively modest setup: small koto, synth, and drone box woven into three extended pieces. The title fuses “koto” with “rhizome,” hinting at what the music does structurally - traditional string resonance is fed into electronics and allowed to …
Bit Blues
Bit Blues sits in the middle of Merzbow’s Horizon cycle like a scorched signpost, three tracks cut from performances recorded at Munemihouse in 2011 and 2012 and later remastered in 2021. All the music is by Masami Akita, working with a small, intensely exploited setup that favours dense, bit‑crushed textures and overdriven loops over the more sprawling configurations of earlier decades. The title points in two directions at once: “bit” as in digital grain and reduced resolution; “blues” as in a…
Sugamo Flower
Sugamo Flower compresses a particular 2011 moment in Merzbow’s practice into two long tracks that feel like one continuous, mutating organism. Both pieces are sourced from performances recorded that year, later repurposed as material for “Sugamo Flower Festival” on the split LP Freak Hallucinations with Actuary (2012), which gives the album a double life: document of an event and quarry for subsequent work. Central to the sound is the return of the Korg AX30 multi‑effect pedal, a unit Masami Aki…
雲の絶対値 Kumo No Zettaichi
On Kumo No Zettaichi, Merzbow trades drum violence for a hall of hovering machines, two 2011 pieces where small drone boxes, oscillators, and minikoto threads knot into a dense but strangely weightless sky of electric weather. It is harsh ambient as charged cloud bank rather than blunt impact.
Arijigoku (Test Mix)
On Arijigoku, Merzbow drags live drums and high-saturation electronics into the same pit, a 2008 vortex where blast-beat turbulence and molten noise spiral together like a ritual gone feral. It is harsh music with a striking sense of propulsion, less wall than constantly collapsing tunnel.
Yono's Journey
Yono's Journey invites listeners to travel through Akita's sonic landscapes, perhaps following an animal guide. Merzbow turns a 2007 home-recorded session into a three-part storm, where hyper-saturated feedback and low-end throb fold into each other like a moving landslide. It is Japanoise as pure velocity: no narrative, just impact reshaping the inner ear.
